The sharia solution to business disputes appears to be not so very different from the mob solution.
The imam and president of the Lexington Islamic Center has been arrested, along with two other men, on federal charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot.
Authorities said 70-year-old Mahmoud Shalash was charged Thursday, along with 34-year-old Abdul Hadi and 31-year-old John Sadiqullah, on charges of conspiracy and using interstate facility in the commission of a murder-for-hire plot.
According to an affidavit by the investigator in the case, the three men wanted to have someone kill another man for $10,000 over a business dispute.
Apparently the murder plot potentially had a fatwa seal of approval.
The informant suggested during one meeting that Sadiqullah and others — who were mad at someone they believed had cheated them in a business deal — meet with Shalash at a mosque on Armstrong Mill Road “in order for Shalash to provide a ‘fatwa’ authorizing the killing.”
In a conversation on May 2, Sadiqullah told the confidential source that he and some Afghan associates were to meet “the Sheik” at the mosque that day to discuss the issue.
The source believed the sheik referred to Shalash, according to the affidavit.
Shalash had previously claimed to be the victim of Islamophobia.
The Islamic Center of Lexington contacted Lexington police and federal Homeland Security Friday morning after receiving an email threat, its imam Mahmoud Shalash said.
The email threat, received shortly before noon Friday, said: “I’m going to kill everyone I there [sic] you Muslim f**ks. Salabis is coming for you, ” according to a news release from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.
“We are aware of the incident and are looking into it to determine the proper course of action,” said David Habich, chief counsel for the FBI in Louisville, in an e-mail to the Herald-Leader.
Looks like they managed to do that.

Where do you think the Sicilian mob got their ideas from?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Sicily was ruled by Moslems for nearly two hundred years. I think it was called the Emirate of Sicily. But you already knew that.

I suspect the Spanish Conquistadors learned their combination of religion and brutal conquest in part from the Muslims who ruled Spain or parts of it for seven centuries. According to Bernard Lewis, the Crusades were an imitation of the centuries-long jihad that had conquered half the Christian world.
Rufolino says
And who is going to defend “the Christian world” this time ?
The media are ALREADY erasing it.
Charles Lutz says
Eduardo, did the brutal Spanish conquistadores put an end to mass ritual human sacrifices in mezzo-America ?

True, Simon and APF.

This club of inbred losers must be disassembled & thrown out of the US. 1400 years of hate & violence must come 2 an end. God bless America.

Being a Hoosier (i.e., I was born in and grew up in Indiana) whose sister lives in Kentucky, it just breaks my heart to read the words “Kentucky imam.” But then, I must remind myself that Andre Carson, a Moslem, represents my hometown of Indy.
Ouch.

Yes–no place is safe from these Muslim thugs now.

This clip is from 2015 but Mahmoud Shalash’s message is classic:

Thanks for digging this thing up, Ashley.
What could be more “peaceful” than plotting to murder someone?
Giacomo Latta says
Shalash wants to meet the Italian to see if indeed he is Mafia to see if they can discuss sharing territories.
LadyTess says
Just more proof that this “religion of peace” is a wholesale lie. 1400 years of war and murder hasn’t changed this culture. They are not civilized. I want ALL of them OUT of MY Country.There mosques torn down and swept away.
CAIR and all associated with them held for accomplises to terrorism.
Christian America you are under seige and you won’t even know it till they come for your heads!
LadyTess says
“their” typo. sorry
James Lincoln says
LadyTess,
The question that I have for Jihad Watch readers is this:
What laws do the United States currently have on the books that could address the threat of Islam – but are not being enforced?
Thoughts???

Actually, Muslim immigration under Trump is now down 90%–a good start. Then, after serving their sentences Jihadists like this Imam should be automatically deported, being stripped of their citizenship if necessary. Mosques like this also need to be surveiled. These are all things we can do under current laws.
James Lincoln says
Agree, gravenimage.
And thanks for the reply.
